The MOST POWERFUL Gaming Phone on the Planet.

[Emily Young]

The first ROG Phone blew us away with its rich assortment of accessories – But now that ASUS is getting serious with ROG Phone II, can the same trick work twice?

 

 

Buy ASUS ROG Phone II on Amazon: https://geni.us/cXBBPn

Given how absolutely massive the mobile gaming market is though, it actually makes sense. Mobile games aren't talked about much here because most of us are PC/console gamers, but they have massive playerbases are are easily accessible because the majority of people need a phone anyways. Most of the accessories are probably gimmicks, but the phones themselves have been pretty damn good from everything I've read or seen on them (mostly the Razer Phone and ROG Phone lines, there's a couple alternatives from smaller companies though).

I really don't get why they don't go the motorola route for quick launching the camera for example.

For years a double twist launches the camera and a double shake turns on the flashlight.

It might take a few tries to get used to it but once you figure it out, it's awesome.

 

Also, people DO buy phones just for gaming, I did that, twice...

$900 for the phone?????????
Would be good for around $500 as an alternative to the switch.

at this price point you might as well just buy a switch

 

and a new phone

I have a secondary Android device for gaming. It's called an Amazon Fire TV 2. Cost me 20 USD.

Re the double tap on the volume down button.

 

My Mate20pro uses this but what's nice is that, from the lock screen/scree off, it actually takes a picture before launching the camera interface.

I was so CLOSE to buying it.....but then I found out that T-mobile bands 71 and 12 are missing. No go for me. This would mean I would get less coverage and or slower data speeds. I travel the world working on airplanes and use T-mobile. I need a phone that can run on ANY network. I bought the Cosmo Communicator. No notch. 2 usb type C ports, a 3.5mm jack, two screens and real buttons! My mechanic hands don't always work on touch screens very well.

guys hit me up, if you are into the idea of a secondary android device that you use for just gaming

 

My primary phone is an Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016), that I use as a daily driver.

I bought a refurbished Iphone 6s, at around 120$, just for "gaming" (Pokemon Go), because it runs that specific game as smoothly as 300/400$ android phones. It literally has only that game and apps to organize events with the community (Messenger, Discord, Telegram).

No GPS chip in the Ipod Touch, making it useless for Pokemon Go.

I would like to remind all of you that there are a lot of people especially in Asia that makes a living playing+streaming mobile games.
